臥底橙先生向霍爾德韋彙報：喬要幹一票，點名讓他入夥；首次碰面白先生也在場，一看就是喬的老交情。橙先生髮現白先生是釀酒人隊球迷，靠贏球 made a killing（大賺一筆），霍爾德韋就此斷定他是威斯康辛來的。想學「大賺一筆」「出賣」sell out，這段彙報全是臥底行話。

臥底警察橙先生向霍爾德韋彙報自己怎麼打進喬的團伙。喬要幹一票大的，點名讓他入夥；首次碰面時白先生也在場，橙先生一眼看出喬和白先生說話的樣子就是老交情。他還打聽到白先生是釀酒人隊的球迷，靠球隊贏球 made a killing（大賺一筆），於是霍爾德韋判斷這人八成來自威斯康辛，讓他去 go through the mugs（翻查嫌犯照片），給這張臉對上一個名字。至於引薦他的長灘邁克，霍爾德韋卻提醒他：那人是個 sell out（出賣朋友的）人渣，別太當真。想學「大賺一筆」made a killing、「翻查照片」go through the mugs，或「出賣」sell out，這段彙報全是臥底行話。

一句虛擬條件把感恩、僥倖和風險全壓上，短卻沉。

“If this crook's a Brewers fan, his ass has gotta be from Wisconsin.”

拿球迷身份當證據，推理說得像玩笑，又準又損。

根據小線索半開玩笑地下判斷時用；正經場合少用 gotta。
If he loves that team, he must be local. ／ That alone tells you where he is from.

當面交代任務、又警告又拍板時用；對上級或客戶別說 you hear me。
I'll handle him, but you focus on the job. ／ I'll deal with that, you just do your part.

but you 後稍停，you hear me 壓低上揚收尾。

罵某人出賣朋友、背信棄義時用；熟人之間最自然，對不熟的人說等於宣戰。

口語
fuckin' scumbag 重讀，selling out 連讀，amigos 收尾。
He's selling out his teammates to save himself. 他為了自保在出賣隊友。
“Yeah. Apparently, they won the night before. He made a killing off 'em.”

Apparently 拉開傳聞口氣，made a killing off 一句給結論，像隨口的旁證。
sb made a killing off sth
說某人靠某事發了一筆橫財時用；正式報告改用 profited heavily，別用俚語。

口語

不。不不不不。 長灘邁克根本不是你的什麼哥們，兄弟。 長灘邁克就是個混蛋人渣。他在出賣自己的朋友。 他所謂的夠意思就是這麼回事，明白嗎？ 他那條狗命我會收拾，兄弟，但你得把那個人渣從腦子裡趕出去，把正事辦好，聽見沒有？
下一章 · 18sell your story讓故事有人信這場戲：教臥底如何把故事講真就是「大賺一筆」，指靠某件事狠賺一票，和「殺人」沒關係。臺詞說靠球隊贏球 made a killing，就是賭球賺了一大筆。
sell out。sell out someone 就是「出賣某人」，sell out his amigos 就是「出賣自己的朋友」。
mug 是警方拍的嫌犯檔案照，go through the mugs 就是「翻查嫌犯照片」。這是查案片裡的行話。
意思是「把正事辦好、把手上的事處理掉」，帶點黑幫口吻。提醒對方別分心，就說 go take care of business。
got a sheet on someone。sheet 是警方的犯罪記錄，got a sheet on him 就是「警局裡有他的案底」。
